Tonight I was meeting Ian at the Nepean Sportsplex as he was just getting off work. Just as I was about to head out I get a call..."did you know the pool is closed for a swim meet?" well boo.
These days training together has become a difficult task. Ian's is working shift work and I work regular 8-4 M to F. Tonight we had it planned that I would get home, make dinner (Tikka Masala) and Ian would meet me at the pool, he'd eat when we got back since he was working 11-7:30pm. Well so much for that...but I digress.
Last week we were able to get in a run, a swim and a ride but with a hockey tourney this past weekend that was it. At hockey we played 3 games in 2 days with just under 2 lines by the end, playing against 4 line CEGEP schools, so needless to say I definitely got a workout...just not triathlon training, can I call it cross training? I sure hope so.
I know from reading triathlon material and looking at training programs that to fit it all in, requires a lot of planning, and double checking the pool schedule :) This is the challenge that Ian and I will have, and for the rest of this week we will get in our bike rides, our run and our swim. This weekend I will plan food for the week so that it will be easier to be able to just come home, and either go to a work out, or cook, then work out. Without stopping by the grocery store, we shouldn't be running out of hours in the day to work out. This is the goal. I feel if I state it publicly I will be more inclined to follow through.
Wish us luck :)
